When the Christmas Seal tradition first began in Canada, its main goal was to raise money to build hospitals for tuberculosis patients. Countless parcels, packages, and letters have since been adorned with this traditional symbol.

Christmas Seals continue to be The Lung Association’s most important source of donations. Today funds raised from Christmas Seals are used to support world-class research, programs, and services that help Canadians breathe easier every day.
